Toned cap ard ball pistol. All the men,
bers of his family were sway from home
visiting and did not return until near
night, when he was found lying dead on
the floor with the pistol by his side. His
son, blowing in the field near by, had
heard the shot, but paid no attention, sup
posing il was fired by some one out hunt
ing. No cause for the suicide Is known

and discouraged.
Farmers are busy sowing oats and pre-
pairing for spring planting.
Stock is in fine condition, and Will come
out ali right If the weather is favorable
for the next thirty or forty days. People
were short Of feed, hence the mild, dry
winter has been a great blessing.
The drouth commissioners will be here
next week, and steps are being taken to
ascertain the amount OF restitution III the
county. While We have some people in
actual want, the desIitutiOn is not gen

Correspondence of the Gazette.
FAIRFIELD, Tex, Feb. 2l.-This coun-
ty was visited by several gentle showers
of rain last week which will enable the
farmers to prepare theft ground for plant
ing. There has been great deal OF
oats sown already and there is a great
deal more TO sow. The farmers have re-
allied the fact that they ought to plant
more grain and less cotton, and while
this is mostly timbered country, oats,
wheat, rye, and millet, ell do well here,
and if we only had railroad to carry eft
our produce our farmers would plant but
little cotton. As it now is they have 70
haul their produce twenty miles to
MAJ et, and over very bad road during
The winter months.

New YORK, Fen. 23.-The stock
market opened decidedly higher this
morning. Good buying for foreign
account was the principal lever OF lifting
prices. TIE market, however, exhausted
its strength in the first effort, and under
free selling most of the advantage was
lost early in the day. The open
ing was decidedly strong, the first
prices showing advances or 4@Ii over
Mondays final figures, Louisville and
Nashv lie showing the largest advance.
There was en- active trading during the
greater part of the first hour. There
were some further slight advances in the
early dealings, but the market quickly
yielded under the lead OF Reading and
material declines were established in the
first hour. Dizziness and stagnation then
INTERVIEWED and up to noon little character
was exhibited by the dealings. After
that time, however, though still remain
ing dull the general list became firm,
while decided strength was shown in
Northwestern and Union Pacific. With
but slight interruption the advance con-
tinued until the close, which was quiet,
but firm at or near the best figures of the
day.
